Strange Error at Installing Packages `git` failed to clone

You have two options:

  1. Add your firewall’s certificate to the Windows system root cert store (and don’t try to use a PEM file, since libgit2 can’t do that)

  2. Tell Julia not to verify GitHub.com by setting the appropriate options via environment variable documented in NetworkOptions.jl

Hi thanks so much!

Can you please elaborate on the second option? What is the exact command I should write?

I am sorry, but I am having such a hard time understanding this error.

Is the second option, writing the following in my startup file

@eval Module() begin

    import NetworkOptions

    ENV["JULIA_SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS"] = "github.com"

end

Try ENV["JULIA_SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTS"] = "**.github.com" (see examples in the README). Also, it should be enough to set it, you don’t need to import NetworkOptions.
